Hi Jo,

I don't know just how varied Word 2007 is across the globe, but I can
assure you that I do have a "Normal" Style in my version of Word 2007.

Both "Normal" and "Body Text" Word Styles import into DBT as "para."

However, as someone recently said, "Office 2007 defines a new meaning
for the word 'support' not yet in the Thesaurus", and they sure ain't
wrong there.

For example, in Word 2003 and earlier, Heading Styles were "Paragraph"
Styles.  It now appears that in Word 2007 these are Character Styles.
In other words for example, you can have say the first three words of
a paragraph denoted as a Heading 1, and the rest Normal.

I've yet to get my head round that one, but will be discussing it with
Duxbury's development guys.

George.

Hi, OK, so... it's a good thing that I can turn attributes in Word on
and
off as I experiment with the various styles!  But...there's no
"normal"
style in Word 2007 which is what I use to create documents.  Yes!  I
can
save them as 97-2003 documents but I don't know how that affects the
headings I've put in.  I do know though, that I sometimes receive
documents
with the words, (body) or "normal" as attributes.  What's the
difference
between the two.  Is "body" a style that I would want to use or is it
the
same as the "normal" style I would use?  I know the line spacing
changed in
Office 2007 so that the default is not what it was in 2003 so if I
create a
docx document and then save it as a .doc does the line spacing in
print
remain single spaced or does it stay at 1.1?  If I use headings level
2 and
above do the lines run over to braille cell 5 as long as h2 or above
are on?

I will be using mostly American Standard format, not the textbook
format.
Thanks for your time in answering my queries.
Jo Taliaferro
